Learning outcomes
The course provides the physical principles of chemistry and aims to justify the structure of matter and its transformations by means of fundamental concepts like atom, electron, energy. The students are addressed with basic tools for the understanding of modern experimental and theoretical methods for structure determination and for the theoretical understanding of physical transformations and chemical reactions.
